These people are parents or guardians of children at the school, who can't get their act together to walk or park where they should. Unlike other people - who also have lives to arrange around the school run - but aren't lazy or selfish. How are children supposed to safely cross the road when idiots are blocking the school gates? Even worse, the next rushed three-point-turn up the pavement or right into someone's drive could mean running over a child. Or if they're lucky, being thumped by the parent of a child they almost ran over. Deansbrook School should send 'Most Wanted' letters home to all parents/guardians, showing photographs of offending idiots, before a child gets hurt.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen a car driving down the pavement in order to get around the traffic. My heart is in my mouth every time! As for people selfishly driving their kids to school, as a local resident, I often see the same parents waiting in their cars a good 20 minutes before school starts or finishes. Obviously further road markings are not going to make much difference parents park over the zig zags anyway, as well as across driveways. There is very rarely an I forcemeat officer in attendance. A possible solution would be to create a one way system, or block off the end of the road, open up the other school entrance to reduce traffic, and have a parking warden there more often!! Deansbrook is a big school (3-4 form entry every year), hopefully the opening of the new Orion school will help reduce the amount of people that live far enough away to have to drive.
